JavaScript 101: Creating Interactive Websites | FREE Livestream | Vancouver
About this workshop
Welcome to Free Fridays!
Our Free Friday Livestreams are here to give you a bite-sized sample of what you’ll learn in our Workshops, Part Time and Immersive courses.
Are you looking to make your websites more dynamic using JavaScript, but aren’t sure where to start? This JavaScript 101 Livestream is perfect for you!
In this free, two-hour livestream tutorial, you’ll learn how the programming language JavaScript powers dynamic websites and applications through animations, drop-down effects, and more. We’ll survey the JavaScript landscape, learn some JavaScript coding skills, get a taste of DOM manipulation, and how developers update the appearance and content of a web page in real time. Then, apply what you’ve learned to add animations and effects to a website. All in real time, taught by an industry pro.
Join us for JavaScript 101 to learn the basics, and gain the skills to create interactive websites your audiences will love!
As an added bonus, a member of our Admissions Team will be joining this livestream to talk to you about the enrollment process for our Part Time and Immersive courses, and answer your questions regarding course pacing, payment options, career development, and more!
